The Rare Book Pedagogy Site provides tools for faculty to introduce
archival research to undergraduates. This website provides a series of
exercises and materials that will enable faculty to easily incorporate
rare book room experiences into their classes. Faculty will be able to
teach undergraduates how to analyze and discern meaning from rare texts,
and students will also learn the conventions of rare book rooms and the
ways to handle rare materials properly. Faculty may use any or all of
these exercises, depending on their specific course goals; these
exercises are designed to be modular, so they are dependent on one
another, and each assignment can be adapted to the course’s needs.
